I just received the latest edition of Michael Ham’s classic how-to: Leisureguy’s Guide to Gourmet Shaving: Shaving Made Enjoyable, and boy did I have a ball with it. I immediately adjusted some of my bad habits (pressure and direction), and added some new indulgences to my daily routine!
Well written, extremely informative and nuanced, and very opinionated – just like Michael’s Blog, LaterOn.
a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
From Lulu:
“The second edition of the beginner’s guide to traditional wetshaving—brush, shaving cream, safety razor with double-edged blade. Traditional shaving is enjoyable and thrifty: double-edged blades are as low as 9ยข each vs. as much as $3.50 for a single disposable multiblade cartridge.
The multiblade cartridge’s tug-and-cut action often results in skin irritation, razor bumps, ingrowns, and razor burn—thus all the “protective” shaving preparations and “soothing and healing” aftershaves now offered. Most men with skin problems decide that they have “sensitive skin” and never realize that the problem is the multiblade cartridge.
This new edition tells how to cure and prevent razor bumps and ingrowns.
The book is complete in itself, but it also includes links to a host of resources on the Web to complement the book. Sources are provided for all you need to get started”
And by golly, Michael included RetroRazor in the resources – Thanks for the shout out!
Give Michael a visit, and if you are looking for a go to resource for shaving advice, buy the book!
